Love received demands love returned. Me te mea ko Kōpū ka rere i te pae. (The beauty of a women is) like Kōpū (Venus) rising above the horizon. Ahakoa he iti kete, he iti nā te aroha. It is the thought that counts. He taonga rongonui te aroha ki te tangata. Goodwill towards others is a precious treasure. Taku toi kahurangi. My precious jewel. Ka nui taku aroha ki a koe. My love for you knows no bounds. Source: https://www.massey.ac.nz/massey/maori/resources/pronunciation/maori-proverbs.cfm Free Legal Advice The Women’s Centre has free 30-minute consultations available during the first week of each month. The primary objective of a consultation is to advise you if you have a legal problem, and whether you need to see a solicitor. If you do need to see a solicitor the lawyer can advise you about your eligibility for Legal Aid and give you some idea of the legal procedures involved in solving your particular problem. If you don’t have a legal problem the lawyer is sure she can give you some sound practical advice anyway. The lawyer can also advise you about facilities available to help you solve your own problems, such as the Disputes Tribunal, Family Court Counselling, etc. All consultations are held in private and are strictly confidential. When: First week of the month How to book: Please do not contact the lawyers without first booking with the Women’s Centre. Phone the Women’s Centre at any time during the month to register your interest in an appointment. We will phone you at the beginning of the month to check if you still require an appointment, and if you do, we will give you the phone number to make the appointment directly with the lawyer.

She had blue T-shirts that said "Rad like Dad", with tags that called it a "boy T-shirt". What made it a boy T-shirt?

The problem is not one girl liking "pink" - the problem is society defining "pink" as a "girly"colour and associating that with concepts of fragility and weakness. Real equality will only come from elevating it and putting it truly on par with masculinity. For girls like my daughter, Serena Williams uber- feminine manicure at the Australian Open is important.

Cover Design & Layout by Barrie Eady. 3 ‘On Our Way” is the story of Methodism in the Hutt Valley seen against a background of social change which has continuously affected the past 150 years. The book starts in pre-European times and traces the arrival of various waves of settlers and their attempts to set up churches in their new home. The eleven authors have researched widely over the past two years and provided an insight often lacking in chronological works. Generously illustrated and indexed, this book is a worthwhile addition to the historical records of the people of Lower Hutt. Pitt Henrich, designer and maker of the Pulpit Fall depicted on the cover of I this book, speaks of her work in this way — “This church wanted me to show how their work as Methodists with a tradition of social concern could go out from the church in the Hutt Valley to people everywhere.

It aims to improve people’s health where they live, learn, work and play by taking a systems approach to the reduction of risk factors for major health loss and increasing equity. The goal is for all New Zealanders to enjoy health promoting social and physical environments that enable healthy food and physical activity choices, being smokefree, drinking alcohol only in moderation and increasing mental health resilience and wellbeing. Healthy Families NZ takes a whole-of-community approach to make sustainable and long-term changes to the systems that influence the health and wellbeing of our communities. By making our environments healthier, we’re laying the foundations for a healthier future for everyone.

  • Wellington Harbour Ferry Service Review 1
    Attachment 1 to Report 07.394 Page 1 of 28 Wellington Harbour Ferry Service Review 1. Purpose To set out the results of a review of the Wellington Harbour Ferry Service. 2. Background The Council currently contracts East by West Ltd to provide a ferry service between Days Bay in Eastbourne and Queens Wharf in Wellington City. This contract will end in November 2007. In order to establish the service specifications for the next contract, a review of the ferry service was completed in May 2007. This report presents the results of the review. 2.1 History of the Wellington Harbour Ferry Service A ferry service between Days Bay and Queens Wharf in Wellington City has been operating since March 1989. This service has been run since that time by East by West Ltd – initially with the WestpacTrust ferry, which in 1990 was replaced with the current “City Cat” catamaran. The original service sailed between Days Bay and Queens Wharf, and in 1995 the route was expanded to include Matiu Somes Island, after the island was opened to the public as a Department of Conservation reserve. In 2002 a review of bus services in Eastbourne, Wainuiomata and Hutt Valley indicated potential for the ferry service to be expanded. Market research conducted in 2003 confirmed this, and concluded that reducing fares on the ferry, providing more frequent and later sailings, and providing more direct buses to the city were the most preferred options to improve public transport in Eastbourne. The option identified as being the most likely to bring new users to passenger transport was providing more frequent and later sailings.

  • Before You Swim Again…
    Is it safe to swim in Wellington and the Hutt Valley? Greater Wellington Regional Council and local councils monitor some of the Wellington region’s most popular beaches and rivers to determine their suitability for recreational activities such as swimming. We monitor eight freshwater and 34 coastal sites In the Wellington and Hutt Valley area. The results from this monitoring are compared to national guidelines and used to calculate an overall grade for each site. Results from the 2014/15 summer season Most of the swimming spots we monitor in Wellington and the Hutt Valley have good water quality. The best sites are Hutt River at Poets Park, Breaker Bay and Princess Bay which have an overall grade of ‘A’ and met the guideline for safe swimming on all occasions. The worst sites are at Island Bay, Owhiro Bay, Rona Bay, Hutt River at Melling and Wainuiomata River at Richard Prouse Park. These sites have an overall grade of ‘D’ and most recorded high bacterial counts on at least two or more occasions. Cyanobacteria (toxic algae) was a problem in some parts of the Hutt River over the summer. Cyanobacteria cover went over national guideline levels twice at Poets Park and three times at Silverstream. Very low risk of illness A 7% (3 sites) Low risk 43% (18 sites) B Moderate risk 33% (14 sites) C Caution 17% D (7 sites) Unsuitable for swimming 0% In the Wellington and Hutt Valley area, 3 sites (7%) are graded ‘A’, 18 sites (43%) are graded ‘B’, 14 sites (33%) are graded ‘C’ and 7 sites (17%) are graded ‘D’.

  • Distribution of Geological Materials in Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand a Component of a Ground Shaking Hazard Assessment
    332 DISTRIBUTION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS IN LOWER HUTT AND PORIRUA, NEW ZEALAND A COMPONENT OF A GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT G. D. Dellow1 , S. A. L. Read 1 , J. G. Begg1 , R. J. Van Dissen1 , N. D. Perrin1 ABSTRACT Geological materials in the Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Wainuiomata, and Porirua urban areas are mapped and described as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of seismic ground shaking hazards. Emphasis is mainly on the flat-lying parts of these areas which are underlain by variable Quaternary-age sediments that overlie Permian-Mesowic age 'greywacke' bedrock. Within the Quaternary-age sediments, the two material types recognised on strength characteristics are: 1) Soft sediments, typically composed of normally consolidated, fine-grained materials (sand, silt and clay), with typical standard penetration values (SPT) of <20 blows/300 mm; and 2) Loose to compact coarser-grained materials (sand, gravel), with SPT values of > 20 blows/ 300 mm. The total thickness and nature of Quaternary-age sediments in the study areas is described, with particular emphasis on the thickness and geotechnical properties of near-surface sediments. Such sediments are considered likely to have a significant influence on the an1plification and attenuation of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes. In the Lower Hutt valley, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of -16 kni. Such soft sediments underlie much of Petone and the Lower Hutt urban and city centres, and have a maximum known thickness of 27 m near the western end of the Petone foreshore. In the Wainuiomata area, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of - 3 krn2, and attain a maximum thickness of 32 m.
